Paramount vs. Valley Christian: Video Recap & Quick Hits

Check out the 45 second highlight recap of Paramount’s 60-52 win over Valley Christian on Thursday night.

Quick Hits

Senior Raynel Hawkins was the star of the night for Paramount. The guard had a game-high 18 points, all on three pointers. He hit six of his eight attempts, four in the second period. Hawkins’ final two three pointers came late in the fourth to hold of the Crusader’s rally.

Head coach Mark McGarry said Hawkins had told him in morning shoot around that he was going to on point tonight. “Thank God he was,” said McGarry after.

Vaj Rice, Valley Christian’s leading scorer at 10.7 points per game, only had six points. But four of those points (and seven big rebounds) came in the third, where the Crusaders started their comeback.

There was a strange series in the second quarter where Paramount was called for three straight holding calls on the inbounds play. So that’s three straight fouls (two on the same player) without the ball being in play. McGarry was not happy and ended up getting a tech a little later.

Valley Christian owes its late run to junior Kyle Westra and his huge three in the third period with thirty seconds that ignited the crowd. He also scored the first bucket of the fourth to keep the momentum with the Crusaders. He fouled out with 2:54 left.
